Troubleshooting

No power to the sockets

Verify the GST18 power input is securely connected to a live power source. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the power source. Ensure any daisy-chained units are correctly connected.

Device plug does not fit securely

Confirm the plug is a Type F (Schuko) or Type E. Try inserting the plug into a different socket on the strip, utilizing the 35-degree rotation if needed to bypass adjacent plugs.

Overheating or unusual noise

Immediately disconnect the power. Check for overloaded sockets exceeding the 16A rating. Ensure the unit is not covered or obstructed, allowing for adequate ventilation. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact support.

Damage to GST18 connector

Do not attempt to use a damaged connector. If the input or output connector is damaged, the unit may need replacement. Contact the manufacturer for guidance.
